Friendly, grounded,
and team-oriented
We are driven by a passion for supporting bold ideas and helping businesses grow, guided by the belief that strong performance and responsible values go together. Unlike traditional private equity firms that placed themselves above management, we founded Saichild to take a different approach—placing management teams at the center of every investment.
Partner
with Ambitious
We see private equity as a force for good—an opportunity to partner with ambitious teams to grow their businesses while creating meaningful impact. With headquarters in South Korea and offices across Asia, we operate both regionally and nationally, staying close to the markets where we invest.
A principle that underpins
everything we do
More than a decade ago, we pioneered a leading environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework, which has since been fully embedded into our investment approach and throughout our portfolio.
